Fatigued, But With a Feeling of Accomplishment

Ah, Thursday. For me during this semester, Thursday means the end of the week, and the beginning of the weekend. I have neither classes nor work on Friday; however, Fridays are rarely a "free" day because it tends to be a day to catch up on whatever has fallen behind. But at this moment, through a tired fog I feel a bit content.

I was up until 2 a.m. finishing my paper on Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness for my Literary Criticism and Theory class. I think it is a pretty decent paper. Had I spent more time on it, I think it would have been an excellent paper.

So why do I feel a sense of accomplishment today? Well, I am pretty well caught up on all of my classes after falling behind by about a days' worth of reading in several of them. Going into the weekend, and into next week's Thanksgiving Break, I am on track. In my Intro to Psych class I had an exam that I prepared little for, but still probably earned a B. After the exam, we were given an update on our standing in the course. My current cumulative grade? A 98. I also received my research paper back in that class, and earned a 100 on it. So this exam worries me very little.

Am I tooting my own horn? Perhaps, but I need to acknowledge my positive feelings a little more, so that's what I'm trying to do.
